FROM ONE OF THE VETS.

AUSTIN, MINI, October3 3, 1887.-Home
from St Louis, where we went TO attend
the National Encampment G. A. R., and
to meet the old Boys in Blue from all
parts of this glorious union, from whence
they always assemble at a national en-
campment to have one annual parade
and reunion. On this last occasion there
were many regimental gatherings, per-
haps none more profitable and harty than
the old BOYS from Maine to California,
formerly members of the U. S. Engineers
Batall. Col. Suttor, of the U. s. E. Corps
stationed at St. Louis. made 7equisi-
ton on the U. $. River Commission for a
large hospital tent, which was at our dis
posal. and here we were quartered at
Washington Park with the Kansas de-
partmcnt.
We met old comrades whom we had not
seen since we or they were mustered out
of the old battalion. DR.. Vogal was
chairman of our meetings and coma,
mander when on parade and review.
Gilbert Thompson from the U. s. Topo-
graphical Survey, brought on from the
War Department the old headquarters
flag, carried through the war With Nc
Clelland, Burnside, Hooker and Meade,
down to the close at Appomatox. In
deed this was a trophy and one of the
old boys wiped salt off his cheeks one
minute after he saw it. Thompson was
made secretary and Evans, from Kansas,
standard bearer, but poor Evans, the
march was too we: for him, and your
humble servant carried this grand, pres.
cious old piece of blue bunting with the
insignia of the engineers, The Castle"
thereon, along that famous march. We
halted in front of the grand stand, cheer.
ed Commander Fairchild and all the old
heroes on the receiving stand, including
the old vet, Vice President Hamlin. We
dipped the old flag and cheered and were
honored by the department of Kansas

Presidential visit to Minnesota.
Preparations for the Reception Of
President Cleveland ar st. Paul
and Minneapolis.

The president and party started on
their western trip Friday and are now
taking in the great west. The party is
a small one consisting of Mr.. and Mrs
Cleveland, Col. Lamont the Prssids1ts
private secretary. Wilson 8. Bisssll of
Buffalo, his former Law passksR, AktJoc
eph D. Bryant, of New York, a member
of his military staff while governor.
The Presidential party will arrive at
st. Paul via the G. NJ. & St. Paul road
from Madison, Wis, at $50 p. M, on
Monday. Oct. 10; leave Tuesday, Oct. II,
at noon. and arrive at Minneapolis at p.
m. and leave for Omaha by the G. St. P.
NJ. s. Omaha railroad, the same day at 8
p. m. No stops are to be made at other
points than those that have been laid
down in the program, and the time for
stopping will not be extended.
The trip will extend through the west
and south and will last three weeks. The
preparations for the reception of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland in St. Paul and
Minneapolis are being made in the most
elaborate manner and will do honor to
the citizens of the twin cities, and the
state of Minnesota. St. Paul will have
a procession of 10000 uniformed men,;
members of the various societies. In
many respects the reception of the chief
magistrate of the nation in the great
cities of Minnesota'will be an interesting
and pleasing one. The trip to our state
is an acknowledgement of the wonderful
growth and national importance of the
northwest and our great commonwealth.
The demonstration will also be of inter
est in showing that our people can ucite
in paying honors to the head of the ma
ton which many of them would feel like
with holding from the man. AS man,
he may be beneath their standard and
representative of a party with which they
do not sympathize, but he will be treated
by them with the Difference due the high
est official in the land. To many, Mrs.
Cleveland will be the chief attraction and
we are sure that she will not find Mime
sofa behind the far famed south in chiv-
alrous respect for woman.

Farmers Wives.

In his address at the Rochester Fair
Gov McGill made the following plea for
the wives and children of farmers. 1t
deserves conspicuous place in every
house hold and does credit to the head
and heart of the man who uttered it.
Iknow very we'll that the farmer who
commences the work OF opening up and
paying for farm has little time during
the first few years to think IF anything
but material success; but that once at
tanned he: cannot afford to ignore the
social feature of life. The mothers of
fine live stock are looked after with as
siduous attention. And this is not only
commendable in itself. but it pays in
dollars and cents. How is it with the
family! How is it with the wives. who.
year in and year out, with wea,y
roundelay of toll, have contributed their
full share to the prosperity secured; who,
at the peril of their lives have borne you
children aud with patient care and ten
derness have watched over them through
|their infancy and childhood and raised
them up to be noble men and women?
I stand here to-day to plead for the
farmers's wives. At best their life is one
B of privation. Their work does not vary.
It is the same to day as yeserday, to.
morrow Us to-day. Women were not
designed for hardships and rough US.

MODE Of THE 6UILlOTINE.:


The condemned murderer in
France is informed when the Court
of Cessation rejects his appeal; but
he always has the hope that the
president will pardon him, and on
the strength of this hope most of
the condemned remain compare
lively tranquil. When the final dav
arrives the convict is awakened by
the Warden about half an hour be-
fore the time is set for the execu-
ton, The straight-jacket is re-
moved and his ordinary clothes
given him. Then he is bound hand
and foot by two of the headman's
aides and afterward let alone with
the priest for Il few moments, unless
the services of this ecclesiastic are
declined.
From the condemed's cell he is
taken to a dimly lighted room
called the toilet chamber; here,
seated on stool, he listens to the
prayers recited aloud by the priest,
while one of the aides cuts the ha.r
from the back of the neck and the
collar from the shirt. He is ready
Supported by two aides and accom-
panied by the executioner, the
priest and the other officials, the
condemned marches out, the
two outside doors fy open, and the
guillotine, surrounded by the mill
tary and the police, greets his eye.
Arrived at the bascule the execu-
toner and his aides push him
against the swinging plank I; he falls

half of the moon-shaped socket,

diately lowered the executioner
touches a spring, the knife falls
with sharp sound, the head drops
into the tub, little stream of blood
gushes out from the trunk and JUS
tice is satisfied
The whole operation takes less
than half minute. The headless
body is slid into the willow basket,
the head is placed between the legs
and the basket is put into a wagon
that has been waiting two hours
for its burden. Escorted by squad
of gendarmes and followed by q
priest in a modest cab the train
gallops off to the Ivry Cemetery,
three or four miles away, where Il
part of the inclosure, called the
turnip field, is reserved for the bu-
rial of executed criminals. When
the body is not claimed it is imme-
diately exumed and given to the

known here: DIR. Holmes is an i'm

was visiting another sister, who is
the wife of a professor at Harvard,
and at the gathering of the literati
heard some one say DIR. Holmes
was present.
"Where is hep" she asked with
enthsiasm. ''Do show me-"
81 do not see him." said the liz
tie gentleman to whom she was
speaking. He was very little
gentleman, with face like a win
ter apple, a pair of twinkling brown
eyes, and a merry smile, but his
name she had not heard.
"Oh," she said, 81 am so anxious
to meet him. You know he is such
a favorite i'm the South
Indeed" he answered, evidently
greatly surprised, II thought Yam

ture were just-the reverse of pop.

She smiled her own brilliant
smile.

wrong, but of this l can assure you

looked confused, and just then
